Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.54023 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
