In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. With our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy.

Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was nursing, ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in this area. This was one of just a few weak links of an otherwise strong report card. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 72.072075 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
