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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is short-term care. This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Even though this is not as strong as some of its other grades, this remains a respectable rating in that area.

To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals.

Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
