Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so well is that it was awarded a dominant short-term care score. Indeed, short-term care ended up being its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
