Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.62825 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final category we looked at is this nursing home's worst category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of C for our nursing category. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
