Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a strong score in short-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which is one of our more impressive grades. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
