In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection score. This is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home was given a first-rate score of A in our long-term care category. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. This facility's vaccination data weren't as impressive as its nursing hours. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 73.3871 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
