Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than its overall rating. Inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 73.30317 percent of its residents, which is slightly lower than we were hoping for. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
