We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

We also gave this facility a middle of the pack grade in the area of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care scores are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
