Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Another one of this facility's higher category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 89.385475 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

In doing so, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy.

On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
