One critical factor is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we want to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This typically indicates that a nursing home's poor track record spanned several years.

After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.97698 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
