Grade: B

This nursing home's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is short-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. In our short-term care score, we try to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
