In addition to faring well in its overall grade, this facility earned an excellent short-term care score. We gave it an A in that category. Our short-term care grades are probably most important for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.44444 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
