Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received high marks in the area of short-term care as well. As a result, it received our highest score in that category with an A+. In our short-term care category, we try to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
