Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it earned a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable grades in that category with a B. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Our short-term care grades are critical for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services.
