Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, it also received a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we gave this nursing home a score of A. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
