Facility Inspections
On top of faring well in its overall grade, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 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 government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a high-end grade of A in our short-term care area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored turned out to be this nursing home's poorest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- in our long-term care category. Our long-term care grade is typically used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.651566 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
