Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. In determining these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.42857 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.73 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
