Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

This facility also was given a strong short-term care grade. This actually ended up being this nursing home's second strongest category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
