Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In determining these long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's personal care services. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital.

This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in the category. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy.

The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
