Our inspection scores account for several factors included in 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 area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care. For that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In our short-term care assessment, we try to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
