Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. We gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy.
