Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this place an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 8 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite short-term care score. We gave them one of our most impressive grades in that area, with a grade of A-. In our short-term care category, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a resident more often.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home received a favorable long-term care rating this year, with a C. While this is not nearly as good as a few of its other category grades, this remains an acceptable rating in that category. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents requiring more traditional services associated with personal care. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 97.126434 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place 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.
