Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more positive scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing, was this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. This was one of the couple of dings on a strong profile. We looked at the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this category. 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 nursing home didn't excel in the area of nursing hours, it surprised us in a few of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding serious falls. This nursing home performed above average in this statistic, which is one redeeming quality we found in this category.
