Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that area with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without complete deficiency data, it is difficult to really evaluate the place in terms of this category.

The last area we scored was long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. It received an F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 87.07224 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
