Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, this facility earned a grade of B+ for its inspections rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
