Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

This nursing home also was awarded a high-end short-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be this nursing home's second best category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A-. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more meaningful for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients.

Although this isn't on par with many of its other grades, it is still an excellent grade.
