Facility Inspections

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless government inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we assessed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B-. This is this facility's least impressive area. This is still not a bad grade. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we assess the personal care offered to a nursing home's residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
