Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for this category, which is one of our highest grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite long-term care grade. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
