This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. If it was not for this grade, this facility's overall score would have been much lower. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility's second best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
