Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had favorable view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility received impressive long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the facility's second best score. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.83721 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
