Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A- for the area of inspections. Inspection grades are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
