Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its first-rate short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a score of A-. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This facility provided the vaccine to 98.52941 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.
