Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a strong score in our short-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, which ended up being a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in the area of long-term care. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 98.56459 percent of its residents, which is an above average total. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
