Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor dings are not something to panic about.

We also want to alert you to the fact that this nursing home received a strong grade of A- in our short-term care area. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home.
