Facility Inspections
While this nursing home received a decent overall score, its inspections rating is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B+. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B+. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.71 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. The nursing rating consists of many datapoints, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this area. Avoiding major falls is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be prevented if a facility offers enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next area is short-term care, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. It fared much better in this area with 56.6 percent of its patients returning home.
