Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in this area, with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care score. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is typically a fair measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
