Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

This facility performed well in the category of short-term care. As a result, we awarded it a score of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our most elite grades. With our short-term care rating, we seek to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home.
