In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
The final area we scored is short-term care, where this facility was awarded an A. This completed a very favorable report card. Not many nursing homes earned an A- or better in every single category. Short-term care grades are generally used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
