Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. We were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This top-shelf nursing home also fared very well in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A+. Very few nursing homes fared better in this category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
