Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. There are quite a few factors included in this category. Most of the subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more critical for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
