Long-term Care Quality
On top of performing well in its overall score, this facility received an excellent long-term care score. We gave it a grade of A in that category.

Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded it an A for that category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
