Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B+.

This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 68.31275 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we expected but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next area is short-term care, where we gave this facility a C in this area. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
