Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned a grade of A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies.

While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services.

Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
