Facility Inspections
This nursing home's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a strong score in that category, with a B. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is frequently a reliable assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Based on its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
