Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health.

Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
