Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
