Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A for this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its high-end profile, this nursing home also received a dominant short-term care score, with a score of A. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Pneumonia can be a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
