In determining our short-term care scores, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is often a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. One of this facility's strengths is it provides more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses to each patient.

We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home received 8 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a solid score in that area, with a C. Even though this wasn't as favorable as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the data points we considered in addition to this facility's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.58678 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too bad.
