Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled at short-term care, where it received an A+. Short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This is based on the place's recent government inspections. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
