Facility Inspections

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Very few facilities performed more favorably in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.346405 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.
