Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall rating, this nursing home received an A+ inspection score. This is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

While this wasn't nearly as elite as some of its other scores, this is nevertheless a decent rating for this area.

This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
