Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned a grade of A+. Very few facilities fared this well in this category. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Our short-term care grade is typically used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.
