Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Inspection ratings are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note the fact that this facility was superb in our long-term care category. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 83.07692 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
