Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of A- for our short-term care grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall score. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. We gave this facility an B+ for our inspections category. This score is far more impressive than its overall score. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing.
