Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this category. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a very strong short-term care grade. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that category, this facility received a score of A. Our short-term care grades are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
