Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an impressive grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
