Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. We were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without the deficiency data for this facility, it ended up being a challenge to grade it in the area of inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated turned out to be this facility's poorest area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- in long-term care. In the category of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care offered by a facility, rather than more sophisticated services. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations.
