Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility fared well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- for that category, which happens to be one of our most favorable grades. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. It does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 7.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
