Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. It doesn't look like we have deficiency data for this nursing home.

To add to its impressive achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
