Facility Inspections
This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. There are a host of subcategories included in this area. Many of the criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care score of C. Short-term care grades are often employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
