Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. 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. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to note that this facility received positive long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more impressive grades in that area, with a B+. This turned out to be the facility's second highest grade. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.30556 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
