Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

The final area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility received a favorable nursing grade this year, with a grade of B. While this wasn't nearly as strong as many of its other grades, this is still one of our stronger grades for this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.57143 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
