Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it an A in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility vaccinated 98.054474 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable.

With 1.88 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home was just about middle of the pack in this area.
