Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of A-. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
