Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best grades in that area, with an A. Our inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in long-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable grade. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure.

Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable statistic. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations.
