Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its top-shelf profile, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care score, with a score of A. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for individuals requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Moving on to our final area, this nursing home also performed well in our long-term care category. We gave it a B+ in this area. This rounded out a first-rate report card.
