Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall rating, this facility excelled in inspections, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A in that area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Among its many impressive scores, this facility was given a top-shelf short-term care score. In fact, it received a grade of A in that category. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. 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 nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
