Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing score includes numerous factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This place provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, where this facility received a B. Believe it or not, this is this facility's worst area. A nursing home is doing something right when their poorest grade still is better than most other facilities. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of offering very favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This percentage is also much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
