In addition to earning a quality overall grade, this nursing home also received excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our highest scores in that category, with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

This nursing home also received a top-shelf short-term care score. Indeed, this is its second strongest category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. With our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy.
