Tallying yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a score of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies.

While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
