Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
