Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
On top of receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection score. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
This facility also was elite in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
