Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this very important category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was elite in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this area. Short-term care scores are vital for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Moving on to the final area, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care grade. Even though this was not nearly as dominant as a few of its other scores, this is truly nothing to be ashamed of.

After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics.
