Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for this area, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility performed well in the area of short-term care. As a result, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Our short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
