Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score assesses quite a few factors, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility earned a somewhat respectable long-term care grade this year. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. Our long-term care scores are more critical for those needing more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 94.16667 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
