Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its quality profile, this nursing home also received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

The last area we graded was long-term care, is this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This really is one of just a few dings of a strong report card. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores.
