An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a nursing home. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among this nursing home's other achievements is its superb long-term care grade. We gave them one of our most impressive scores in that area, with a score of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services.

This nursing home vaccinated 96.71233 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final category we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. Although this is its weakest category score, this is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing.
