It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

The third category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. In the category of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more sophisticated services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 46.035244 percent of its residents. This is several points less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
