Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this place really excelled in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in that area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse.

Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive.

It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
