Our inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing score. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.3 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. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The next category we rated is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home.
