In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled at short-term care, where it received an A. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility has earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
