Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. At the end of the day, this was a generally positive inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Included in this nursing home's host of poor scores was its F in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 44.19643 percent of its patients against pneumonia.

With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
