In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. In our short-term care rating, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category.

Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category, making this the facility's least impressive category. We would nevertheless suggest that you look at the bigger picture. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 34.554974 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
