Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having access to the deficiency related data, it ended up being difficult to assess this facility in terms of this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for the area. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.

When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy.
