Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing.

Pneumonia is often a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Moving on our final category, inspections proved to be this nursing home's weakest link. It received a C in this area. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspections. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies.

This indicates the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
