Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most facilities in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor grade. This is obviously a significant concern. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 94.32177 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
