You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients.

Our short-term care grades are important for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing.
