Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.487434 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
