Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.85933 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Grade: C

The next area we graded was nursing, in which this facility was awarded a C. This turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
