Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. Surprisingly, this facility was assessed a category L deficiency, which was not what we expected given its inspection grade. These are the worst type of deficiencies. This category indicates inspectors found a widespread deficiency placing patient safety or health in immediate danger. Any serious deficiency is a major concern. In spite of this major red flag, other aspects of this facility's inspection report gave us some hope.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded a very positive short-term care grade. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is considered to be a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. We weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community.

Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas.

Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in long-term care, which we consider to be a decent rating. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.065575 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.
