Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we assessed was long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B-. Although this wound up being its least impressive category score, this is still not a poor grade. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 79.31034 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
