Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of B+. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, this nursing home received a very strong long-term care grade. Although this wasn't quite as elite as a few of its other category grades, this remains one of our more favorable scores we offer. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
