Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. It does not appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without having access to complete deficiency related data for this nursing home, it was a challenge to evaluate it in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a top-shelf short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this nursing home's second strongest category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
