Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility has received near flawless government inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning residents even once per day.

This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital.
