The nursing score is based on a variety of datapoints. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning patients more frequently.

We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
