Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Among this facility's other achievements is its dominant short-term care grade. It received one of our best scores in that category, with a score of A. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the facility.
