Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors 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 aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Short-term care grades are typically used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this also affected quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

This nursing home vaccinated 90.87049 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
