Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received a grade of A in our long-term care category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 83.21168 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.
