Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

In determining our long-term care grades, we assess the assistance with daily living offered to the nursing home's residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.51163 percent of its residents. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
