This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on our third area, this facility received first-rate short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this area. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home was awarded a high-end long-term care score. Even though this was not quite as elite as many of its other category grades, this is nevertheless one of the more favorable scores a facility can receive. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 84.26966 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
