This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also earned first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
