Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an A+ long-term care grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to be given multiple A+ category scores. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 96.174866 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital.
