Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
