Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a positive score in long-term care. This facility received a B in this category, which is one of our more impressive grades. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.49398 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In computing our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is frequently a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation.
