Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this place an A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the country with 55.4 percent of its patients returning home. This is a better rate than most nursing homes.

Our long-term care scores are more critical for patients needing more traditional assistance associated with personal care.
