Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has earned favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a strong score in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
