Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, it also performed well in inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its dominant achievements in other areas, we gave this facility a grade of A for its short-term care score. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
