Facility Inspections
This facility earned a B for its inspections rating. This is an above average score in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this nursing home was given an extremely favorable long-term care grade. This facility didn't turn out to have any weak links. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
