One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
