Facility Inspections
On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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
To add to its first-rate performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a score of A for its short-term care score. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

The next category we assessed turned out to be this facility's poorest category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a respectable grade of B- in our long-term care category. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents in need of more conventional assistance associated with personal care.
