Facility Inspections

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has earned excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

This score is more often than not a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility received a B. Even though this wound up being its lowest category rating, this is still an impressive grade. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.99331 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
