This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning patients at least once a day.

Moving on to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the facility's weakest category score. Unfortunately, this category hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure.

Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
