Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of short-term care. For this reason, we gave it a grade of A- in that category, which happens to be one of our best scores. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home.
