Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality facility overall, this place excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Additionally, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care scores this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B+.

Our short-term care scores are considered to be most critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

The next category we scored is nursing. We gave this nursing home a D for the area of nursing, making this its weakest grade. Our nursing rating includes a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Although this place did not excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in some of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This place was above average in this metric, which is one redeeming quality we found in this category.
