Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few places performed as well in this area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Sadly, this facility received a category L deficiency, which is not what we expected given its inspection grade. These are the worst type of deficiencies. This category of deficiency means the government inspectors identified a widespread deficiency placing resident health or safety in imminent jeopardy. 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.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade is mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning patients more often.

This nursing home vaccinated 95.55556 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
