Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections is its best category. In this area, we awarded it an A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing scores are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Tennessee in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
