Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this very important area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home vaccinated 98.21429 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
