Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which happens to be one of its more favorable category scores. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
