Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of long-term care, with top-shelf grade of A- in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 94.545456 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category is short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. Sadly, it received an F in this category. Despite several solid grades in other areas, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we would like to to make sure you are aware. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a useful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. It looks like this place was subpar in several staffing metrics we focus on. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
