Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a patient more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. This really was one of just a couple of dings in a strong report card. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 97.413795 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
