Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent score. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
