Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a D for our nursing category. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. Nevertheless, we would not focus exclusively a single weak category. When computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility averaged just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed in this category.
