Facility Inspections
While this nursing home received a decent overall rating, its inspections score is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that area with a B+. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care grade is one of its more favorable scores. The facility received a B- in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Our final category is nursing, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category. When computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
