This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient even once per day.

Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Grade: B-minus

The last area we looked at was long-term care. This facility received a favorable long-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this was not as elite as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable rating in that area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe.
