Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the place's overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have too many severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care scores are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
