Facility Inspections

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home vaccinated 99.6139 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.

This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
