Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home also received excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our highest grades in that area, with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed well in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Very few facilities received a better grade in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The final area we assessed is long-term care. This facility received an above average long-term care score in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this is not quite as good as many of its other scores, this is still an acceptable score for this category. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the amount of care offered by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 87.30158 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital.
