This place earned a very favorable short-term care rating. In fact, its short-term care grade proved to be its best category. In that area, we gave this them a B. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
