We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Sadly, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category.
