Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B.

This facility gave the vaccine to 98.27586 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
The last category we looked at is inspections. Unfortunately, this nursing home didn't receive favorable inspections in recent years. We had to give it an F in this area. Since this data is compiled by independent government inspectors, we tend to heavily weight a poor performance in this category. This really dragged down this nursing home's overall score. With places that received this poor of an inspection score, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
