Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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.

Grade: B-minus
The final category we graded is nursing. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in this area, with a B-.

This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for.
