Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a positive grade in long-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our more impressive grades. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 87.17949 percent of its residents, which is slightly below what we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
