Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having access to complete information regarding deficiencies, it is a challenge to assess it in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The next category we analyzed is nursing. This nursing home was given a C in the area. We looked at the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this category.
