Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A for that category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note the fact that this facility was awarded a high-end grade of A in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
