Facility Inspections
This nursing home's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Long-term care ratings are pivotal for people requiring personal care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.05063 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too far off the national average.

Finally, this place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.

The next category we graded is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was respectable in this area with 48.5 percent of its residents returning home.
