We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which was much better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively positive inspection report.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. In determining a facility's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, nursing ratings also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. With our short-term care category, we seek to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
