Short-term Care Quality
We wanted to point out that this facility's short-term care score outperformed its overall score. We gave it a grade of B+ for short-term care, which is one of our better scores. This propped up its overall score. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection rating was yet another category grade that was superior to the facility's overall grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst area. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. This is one of the few dings of a very solid profile. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.61017 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
