Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning to the next category, this facility also received a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a B-. Although this is its weakest category score, this is still not a bad grade. In calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.
