We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

The final category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was given an above average long-term care grade this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this is not as strong as several of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable grade for this area. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
