Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
On top of earning a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an A+ short-term care grade. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 7.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
