Adding to its fine resume, this nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care score, with a score of A-.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Lastly, this facility also received excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in the area of inspections, with an A-. Few other facilities can boast of receiving an A- or better in every category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have few 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
