Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, 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. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded strong short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with a B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D.

This number is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, we awarded this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. This is the facility's worst category rating. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.242424 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
