These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines.

We would like to have more information about this nursing home. Without having access to complete information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being difficult to fully grade the place in this area.

This facility also received a impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this is this facility's third best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home.

With this score, the nursing home finished off a very favorable report card.
