Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong facility is that it received a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections is its best category. In that category, we awarded it an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility vaccinated 95.76271 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes.

Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
