Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received excellent government inspections recently. We awarded it one of our best grades in that area, with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
To complement its top-shelf accomplishments in other areas, we gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care rating. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy.

On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
