Facility Inspections

On top of being an elite facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed this well in this area. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Contributing to its fine profile, this nursing home also received a superb short-term care grade, with a grade of A-. In calculating these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
