Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for the area of inspections. Inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. Our short-term care grades are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this nursing home provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
