Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 74.35898 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This dragged down this nursing home's overall score quite a bit. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This usually means that a facility's bad track record spanned several years.
