Our inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

This really was one of just a couple of dings on a very solid profile. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category.

This nursing home vaccinated 95.04951 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital.
