Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was awarded an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most critical for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Our long-term care grade is often used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility.
