This nursing home was awarded its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area, which is a decent score. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F in this category. This pulled down this nursing home's overall score quite a bit. When a place has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility had 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This often suggests that a facility's poor performance spanned more than one year.
