You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's quality category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home received a respectable short-term care score. Even though this was not nearly as dominant as some of its other scores, this is truly not a major area of concern. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 33.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients return home so this facility is below average.
