Short-term Care Quality

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned an elite short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home an A- for inspections. Inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.
