Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The last area we graded was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C. Although this is its lowest category rating, this is still not the end of the world.

This score is typically a fair measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home.
