Facility Inspections
This nursing home did not receive any respectable grades. Its most concerning score may be its inspection rating, where we gave it an F. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility had 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor performance spanned multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 78.9011 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
