Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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.

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