We were not able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids.

This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
