Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe.
