Facility Inspections
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a top-shelf long-term care score. We gave them a dominant grade of A- in this category. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 86.52482 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In this process, we analyze a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home.
