Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our short-term care category. Short-term care grades are meaningful for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you 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. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
