Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a strong score in short-term care. This facility earned a B in this category, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. Our short-term care ratings are probably most meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our final category, we awarded this nursing home a D in the area of nursing. This was the facility's weakest category score. Sadly, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its weak nursing hour totals, this facility received suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades.
