Based on our ratings, this nursing home looks like a good fit for most people. You also may want to review this nursing home's category grades below. We discuss long-term care in the next section.

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.24812 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

This facility also received a virtually flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. This is one of the few places to receive multiple A+ category grades. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. The nursing grade weighs a host of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed a few nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal score. We would not necessarily disqualify a facility because of a single weak category though. In forming our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 36.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
