Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.75163 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations.
