Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
