Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having access to complete information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being a challenge to assess this facility in the inspections category.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next area, this facility was given a respectable long-term care rating. While this was not nearly as dominant as several of its other category grades, this is truly not a terrible score. In calculating our long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's personal care services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
