Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 3 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.

In that area, we gave this facility an A-. There are numerous factors included in this grade. Many of these factors relate to staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave them one of our strongest grades in that category, with a grade of A-. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care, is this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This really is one of just a few weak links on an otherwise strong report card. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. We were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.49772 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
