The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning our third area, this facility received a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 73.7 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
