Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspection category. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that category, with a score of B+. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy.

On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid figure. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
