Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.206276 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This grade is based on the place's recent inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
