Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for our inspections rating.

When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids.

Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This place performed as well as just about any nursing home in the nation in this area with 62.6 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
