Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
