We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Our short-term care grades are important for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, in which we gave this facility a C in that category. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
