Nurse Quality
Grade: A
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Tennessee in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this facility an A for inspections. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The objective is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses.
