Facility Inspections

Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

This rating is generally a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility.

This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.3 hours per resident daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides.
