Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-.

You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.
