Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.13 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack due to it having more complicated patients.
