Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Our inspection ratings are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 77.96818 percent of its patients. This is somewhat below what we anticipated. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.
