Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
