Facility Inspections

Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is a decent score. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

One of this nursing home's more respectable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for individuals requiring more conventional services related to personal care. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 92.24806 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
