Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a score of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. In our short-term care category, we seek to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
