Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A in that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its dominant profile, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A- in the category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
