Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had positive view of this facility's inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its next highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Short-term care grades are vital for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
