Long-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a favorable overall score, this facility also earned a strong long-term care score. We awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Furthermore, this facility also received impressive government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
