Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

This facility also was given an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a B in that area, which is one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. 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 information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
