Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next best area is short-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was long-term care, is this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. This really was one of just a few weak points on a quality profile. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 85.36585 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
