Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
