Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned a very impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was elite in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Only a select group of nursing homes fared better in this category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 7.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.23077 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital.
