Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a strong score in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our higher scores. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 82.87671 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
