Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. In computing our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is frequently a reliable assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients.

We discovered that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
