Nurse Quality
While we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually earned an impressive nursing grade this year. We gave it a B in this area. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Tennessee in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a resident more frequently.
Facility Inspections
We actually gave this nursing home a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. We awarded it a B- in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a solid grade in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.91892 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. Our short-term care scores are presumably more meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade in this range for this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we assess. It offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
