We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this area, which is much better than its overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

In forming these long-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services.

This facility vaccinated 99.31035 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital.
