We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. 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. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy.

The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This place fared respectably with 47.9 percent of its residents returning home.

This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
