Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.
