Facility Inspections

In addition to being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly flawless. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also was given a dominant long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be this facility's second strongest category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 93.03797 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
