Facility Inspections
Grade: A
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an impressive grade in inspections. Inspections ended up being its best category. In this area, we gave this nursing home an A. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
Adding to its top-shelf assessment, this nursing home also was awarded an excellent short-term care score, with a score of A. Our short-term care grade is often used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
