Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes fared this well in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality

Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care score. Although this is not as elite as some of its other grades, this is truly a middle of the pack score. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 86.36364 percent of its residents. This is multiple points less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital.
