Long-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home extremely poorly overall, it received a better long-term care score this year. We gave it a C in that category. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 91.81035 percent of its residents, which is a few points lower than we anticipated. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out that this nursing home earned an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is especiallY troublesome because it typically points to red flags on the nursing home's inspection reports. For nursing homes with bad inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. Tragically, this place was assessed multiple category J through L deficiencies. This indicates multiple widespread deficiencies putting resident health or safety in imminent danger. These deficiencies are very damaging to a facility's inspection score. Lastly, we need to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a poor performance has been an issue for several years.
