Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. It does not appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A
Among its many high-end scores, this facility received an excellent long-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A in that area. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 91.30435 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
