Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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
The last area we looked at is long-term care. We gave this facility one of our better scores in this area, with a B. Even though this was not as high as several of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless a fine grade. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
