Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. A deficiency-free inspection report is what we look for.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong grade in our short-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. Short-term care grades are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
