You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L.

The next category we looked at was nursing. This nursing home was given a C in this category. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
