Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a first-rate short-term care score. This actually turned out to be this facility's second strongest category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. One of this place's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found it provides at least one and a half times as many hours with physical therapists as most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 67.8 percent of its patients returning home.
