Short-term Care Quality
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a far better grade for short-term care than it received overall. It received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. With our long-term care score, we look at the volume of services provided by a nursing home, as well as a few quality statistics. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 94.98208 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
The last category we looked at is inspections. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent government inspections. This facility received a C in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create 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.
