Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
