In the inspections category, we gave this facility an 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 the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency data for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having access to all of the information regarding deficiencies, it was a challenge to fully assess this facility in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second best category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is considered to be a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
