Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also earned an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Not many facilities received a better grade in this area. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze 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 nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

The next category we analyzed is long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B-. While this turned out to be its poorest category rating, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades.
