This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

We'd still recommend that you look at the bigger picture. Long-term care ratings are based on the facility's volume of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 86.30137 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations.
