Facility Inspections

To pair with its favorable overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Adding to its impressive accomplishments in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A- for its long-term care grade. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. 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 less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
