Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect.

This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at.

The purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes.

At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
