Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. In crafting these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
