It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+.

Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area.
