Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our long-term care grade is typically used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.69026 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility and found that this facility performed better here. In fact, this facility performed better than most nursing homes in the country in this area with 53.3 percent of its residents returning home.

The next category we assessed is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is a fair grade in this area. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
