Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this very important area. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This exemplary facility also dominated in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Only a small group of facilities performed better in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
