Facility Inspections
This facility's overall score was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in this category, with a B+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 95.29412 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
