Facility Inspections

You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

This nursing home's next highest area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care.
