Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many nursing homes fared better in this area.

Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Not many nursing homes performed more favorably in this area.

This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population.

The next category we scored was this nursing home's weakest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- in short-term care. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy.

However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility.
