Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, of which a significant percentage was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is among the higher totals of nursing hours we found. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any facility in the nation when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Among this nursing home's other strengths is its top-shelf short-term care score. We gave them one of our strongest grades in that category, with a grade of A.

You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored proved to be this nursing home's worst category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of C for our long-term care category. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the data points we considered on top of this facility's strong nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.969696 percent of its patients.
