Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an A-.

It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L.

Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

This grade is considered to be a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

Grade: D

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.181816 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
