Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe.

A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Our last category is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a C in that category. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's volume of nursing care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
