Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other strengths is its superb long-term care grade. We gave them one of our most impressive grades in that area, with a score of A-. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics.

With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient at least once a day.
