Nurse Quality
Grade: B-minus
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. There are many datapoints within this category. Most of the criteria are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Grade: F
The last category we scored is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. You should not necessarily rule out a facility as a result of a single terrible category though. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.78788 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
