Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent inspection reports. We gave it an A for this category, which is one of our highest grades. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In that area, we gave this nursing home a score of A-. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health.

This facility gave the vaccine to 96.859505 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy.
