Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we gave this place an A- for the area of inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received impressive scores in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded it one of our most elite grades in that category with a score of A-. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence 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 vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 85.416664 percent of its patients. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
