Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. We gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was given a positive long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
