Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care score. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities 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. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the pack grade in the category of long-term care, with a grade of B-. In the category of long-term care, we analyze the amount of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In our final category, inspections proved to be this facility's worst grade. It received a C in this area. Inspection scores are based on a facility's government inspection reports. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
