Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of achievements, it also was given a very favorable short-term care score. We gave them a dominant grade of A in this category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent grade in that category, with a B-. Although this wasn't as high as some of this nursing home's other grades, it is still nothing to be ashamed of.
