Facility Inspections
In addition to being a top notch facility overall, this place also performed well in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. 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 patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a superb score of A in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.71795 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
