Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong score in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.64285 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
