This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this category. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving patients even once per day.

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

This nursing home also was given a favorable score in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in that area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned to the community from this nursing home. We found that it performed decently , with 48.9 percent of its residents returning home.

This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we awarded this facility a D. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.388885 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.43 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
