Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

We would like to to point out this potential weak spot, but you shouldn't over-emphasize a single bad category either. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 44.18605 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
