Facility Inspections

Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
