Facility Inspections

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few facilities fared better in that category. Our inspection grades are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.72973 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place 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.
