This facility earned an elite short-term care grade. We gave this facility a grade of A in this area, which really helped its overall score. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade appears to be one of its best features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories J through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 94.84536 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
