Nurse Quality
The last area we looked at is nursing, which ended up being this facility's worst category. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. Our nursing rating is based on a number of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
