Facility Inspections
This nursing home's third best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Sadly, this nursing home was assessed a category L deficiency, which is not what we expected based on its inspection grade. This category of deficiency indicates CMS uncovered a widespread deficiency putting resident health or safety in imminent danger. Even a single serious deficiency of this nature should be taken seriously. In spite of this major red flag, other aspects of this facility's inspection report gave us some hope.

The final category we graded was long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home a C. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 89.74359 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
