Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Turning to the next area, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care score of C. With our short-term care rating, we seek to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
