Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade consists of several subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 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. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care. It received an F in this area, which is a very poor score. You shouldn't simply disregard a nursing home due to a single bad category though. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 87.64045 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
