Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

Short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

The last category we rated was nursing, in which this facility received a B-. While this wound up being its least impressive category score, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We look at the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these issues.
