Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it a B for our inspections category. This is the result of the facility receiving a quality inspection report this year. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Despite this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most respectable category is long-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that area. This ended up being a well below average score. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.52406 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
