Facility Inspections

This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We weren't able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was given a favorable long-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category grade. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B+. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 76.0274 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
