Facility Inspections

Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. We gave them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a score of B+. With our short-term care grade, we try to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes.
