One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Adding to its fine assessment, this nursing home also was awarded a superb short-term care grade, with a grade of A. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation.

Another quality feature of this nursing home is its inspection grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. We weren't able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without having the information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it was a challenge to fully assess it in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B. Although this is its weakest category score, this is nevertheless a good score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
