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 also received an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home 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 considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
