Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received an elite long-term care score. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with an impressive grade of A. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 89.655174 percent of its residents. This is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A
Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed at a high level in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
