Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also would like to point out that this place earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is long-term care, which is this nursing home's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 75.96154 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is several points below the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
