Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection grades are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
