This facility earned a short-term care score which is better than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home a B+ in this area. This helped its overall profile quite a bit. Our short-term care scores are likely most meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor dings are not something to panic about.

Grade: C
The next category we looked at was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.82353 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.
