Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

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. There are a number of datapoints within this area. Many of the factors relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also considered some quality-based statistics in this category. Although this facility did not rank highly in terms of nursing hours, it fared much better in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, this place fared better than average. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, which is this facility's weakest category. It received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 39.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
