Headlining this facility's exemplary report card is its inspection score, which is addressed in the next section.

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also received a dominant long-term care grade. In fact, this is its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.16466 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.22 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this figure may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B+.

In fact, it supplied more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the average facility. This is often a great sign.
