Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second best category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.35127 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
