Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care. We gave this facility a D for the area of short-term care, rendering this its worst area. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It looks like this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we assessed. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
