This facility received somewhat favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them a decent score in that area, with a grade of C. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This nursing home had 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. It received an abysmal F in this category.

Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide.

With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
