Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in this area, with a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure.

In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused metrics.
