Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this facility also received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Our inspection ratings account for 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 category typically have very few severe deficiencies. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency data, it was difficult to fully grade this nursing home in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its fine profile, this nursing home also received a dominant short-term care grade, with a grade of A. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
