Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that area, which is one of our more favorable scores. In computing these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area is long-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category. In spite of some solid scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.95046 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
