Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was given an impressive grade of A in our long-term care area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.89313 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we expected but still a decent figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Grade: B-minus
The last category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a B-. Even though this isn't as dominant as many of this nursing home's other grades, it is still not the end of the world. There are many criteria within this area. Many of the data points relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing scores. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically decent indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
