Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses.
