Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility received an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we assessed, this nursing home received a very strong grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this score, the facility topped off an elite report card. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.80769 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
