Short-term Care Quality
It should also be noted that this nursing home' short-term care score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its short-term care grade, which is an above average grade. This helped its overall score. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the 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 rare in this industry.
