Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. Our inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
The last category we graded was nursing. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
