Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B+. This finished off a first-rate profile. Very few facilities earned a B+ or better in all four categories. Our nursing score is based on several subcategories, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.
