This nursing home's second best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports.

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. There are quite a few subcategories included in this category. Many of the datapoints are tied to staffing levels. This place provides only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is generally a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services.

Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
