Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This score is far better than the facility's overall rating. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. Sadly, it received an F for this category. Despite several acceptable scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to draw your attention to it. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
