Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our highest scores in that area, with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious 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 want to note the fact that this nursing home received a first-rate score of A- in our long-term care area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.

Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals.
