This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The final area we looked at is nursing, which is this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. However, we would not assess this facility based solely on a single area, since it received many superb grades in other categories. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is well below average. While this nursing home didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in some of the quality-based assessments in the nursing category, such as avoiding serious falls. This facility performed better than average in this datapoint, which is one redeeming quality we found in this area.
