You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given an impressive short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home received a decent long-term care rating. While this is not nearly as impressive as a few of its other grades, this is still not a terrible score. In crafting these long-term care scores, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
