Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this very important category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes.

The final category we assessed is short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded an A. This topped off a very favorable report card. Not many facilities received an A- or higher in each of our categories. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation.

On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
