Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home.

Facility Inspections
Surprisingly, this nursing home actually received a good score in inspections as well. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
