Facility Inspections
While this nursing home earned a decent overall rating, its inspections rating is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that area with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we gave them a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better. Our short-term care ratings are likely most critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. 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 patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable long-term care score of C. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 52.653927 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
