Facility Inspections
This facility also earned excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best grades in that category, with an impressive grade of A-. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility received a B. Although this is its worst category rating, this is nevertheless an above average rating. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.947365 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
