Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
