This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of inspections, this nursing home did not fare well. It received an F in this category. This dragged this nursing home's overall score down as we heavily weight this category. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this place was assessed large government fines amounting to over $100,000. This generally means that a facility's poor performance spanned several years.
