Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home.

Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This nursing home performed well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our most favorable grades. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

Facility Inspections
Moving on to the last category of inspections, this was not one of this facility's better grades. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded this nursing home a score of C in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
