Facility Inspections

On top of earning a great overall score, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for this area, which is one of our best grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

This facility administered the vaccine to 99.85294 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital.

Our goal is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility.
