Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B- for this category. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
