Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid facilities that had a long list of severe deficiencies. Surprisingly, this facility received a category L deficiency, which was unexpected given its inspection grade. These are the most concerning deficiencies. This category indicates CMS discovered a widespread deficiency putting patient safety or health in imminent jeopardy. Even a single deficiency in this category is concerning. While other aspects of this nursing home's inspection report were favorable, we have some reservations.

This facility's second most favorable area ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a grade of C. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility.
