Facility Inspections

On top of being a great facility overall, it also received A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections are virtually perfect. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. A lone deficiency isn't anything to panic about.

We also gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care score. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home.
