Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a dominant long-term care score. This actually ended up being its second best category score. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
