Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale.

The next area we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
