Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 4.7 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
The final category we assessed was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. Although this turned out to be its poorest category score, this is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. Our long-term care ratings are important for prospective residents requiring personal care. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
