Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused measures. We look at the percentage of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
