Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.16551 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
