One of the many reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category.

Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
