While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Our short-term care grade is generally employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services.
