Facility Inspections
On top of earning a strong overall rating, this facility also excelled in our inspections category, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its high-end resume, this facility also received a dominant short-term care grade, with a score of A-. With our short-term care category, we strive to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
