Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections are virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a very favorable short-term care score. We awarded them an elite strong of A- in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this facility. It outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 63.8 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
