Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility earned near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are likely most important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 7.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

In our final category, this facility received another A+ for its long-term care score. This finalized an amazing report card of four A+'s.
