To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care scores are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.625465 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Finally, turning to inspections, we gave this nursing home a C. Our inspection grade is based on the facility's government inspection reports. Although this is not a bad grade, it is this facility's weakest area. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 9 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
