Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality

In our short-term care category, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
