Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. We gave it a grade of B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an B+ in the area of nursing. There are numerous criteria within this category. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more often.

This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
