Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

The final area we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home received a B. Although this turned out to be its worst category grade, this is nevertheless a strong rating. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
