Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive score in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care.
