Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this facility also earned an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a fine short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second strongest category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that returned home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility with 62.6 percent of its residents returning home.
