Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality

This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better scores. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 86.42534 percent of its patients. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next area, this nursing home received an acceptable short-term care score of C. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 34.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
