Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility received excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Turning to our final category, this nursing home was given a decent long-term care score. Although this was not as impressive as many of its other category grades, this is still not a major area of concern.
