As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. This is obviously a significant concern. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 82.41758 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
