Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.47325 percent of its patients.

Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
