Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that it avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second most respectable category was long-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 19.379845 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
