Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home received a first-rate grade of A- in our short-term care category. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
