Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections is its best category grade. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 99.002495 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations.
