Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility an A. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other strengths is its top-shelf short-term care score. We awarded them one of our strongest grades in that category, with a score of A-. Our short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care. We gave this facility an acceptable grade in this category, with a grade of C.
