Facility Inspections
To pair with a strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspection category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its fine resume, this facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade, with a grade of A-. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.
