Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an elite grade of A+ for its short-term care score. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the facility's government inspections. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
