Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second strongest category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.744774 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Although this was not quite as strong as a few of its other scores, this is still one of the stronger scores for this category. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy.

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