Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that had too many deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable score is short-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that area. This ended up being a well below average score. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we were not surprised to discover this place was below average in the two key staffing figures we focus on. It provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
