To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating.

Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
