Facility Inspections
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. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility.

Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average statistic. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.
