Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies.

Nursing grades are primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area.

Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home also performed well in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Few nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
