Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
