Facility Inspections
To go along with a strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 4 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
In addition, this nursing home also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher grades in that category, with a score of B. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, in which this facility was given a B-. While this wound up being its worst category rating, this is nevertheless not a poor grade. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 83.42857 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
