Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse.

This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health.

When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this statistic. Avoiding major falls is often an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a nursing home offers enough nurses to assist its patients.

The last area we looked at was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in that category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure.

This facility gave the vaccine to 98.039215 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.
