Facility Inspections

It received a decent score in that area with a B-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. In determining our nursing scores, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses.

Approximately one fourth of this care came from registered nurses, which are highly trained nurses. Both of these figures are higher than average. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these subcategories. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
