Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities fared better in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility received a C. While this proved to be its worst category grade, this is still not the end of the world. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.391304 percent of its patients, which is a bit lower than we anticipated. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
