Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this facility's inspection score outpaced its overall score. We awarded it a grade of B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an B+. Nursing grades are largely tied to the facility's 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics.
