Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing category consists of a handful of components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. 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. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is long-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. This really is one of the few weak points in a quality profile. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.4058 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
