It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Wrapping up this nursing home's impressive profile, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. With this grade, the nursing home completes its straight A report card. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
