Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall score, this facility also received top notch health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in this category, with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we graded this facility so well is that it was given a dominant short-term care grade. Indeed, short-term care ended up being its second highest category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country in this area with 63.3 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Long-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B- in this area. Our long-term care scores are more critical for folks requiring more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated just 84.73968 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Turning to the next area, this facility was awarded an acceptable nursing score of B-.
