Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive short-term care score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home has earned near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. 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 quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
