Facility Inspections

You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher grades in that category, with a score of B+. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
