In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health.

Grade: A
Contributing to its first-rate profile, this facility also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, we gave it a score of A in the category. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
