An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. 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 these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services.

Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas.

Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a patient at least once a day.
