Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an impressive grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Short-term care ratings are vital for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

The next category we scored is nursing, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. Even though this is its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless not a terrible score.

This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, while this facility did not rank highly in terms of its nursing hours per resident, it performed much better in some of the quality measures we looked at.
