Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services.

Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing score includes several subcategories, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is short-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a C in that category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is typically a fair measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
