As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged.

This particular nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in that area. Short-term care grades are typically used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
