One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also was given a dominant long-term care score. In fact, this ended up being this nursing home's second strongest category grade. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care.
