Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it an A for that category. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspections. We awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our best grades. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
