The final category we rated is nursing. This facility received a very good nursing grade in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this is not quite as dominant as a few of its other scores, this is still a respectable rating for that area. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient at least once a day.
