This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents more often.

Grade: B

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better scores.

Finally, we need to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This typically means that a nursing home's bad track record spanned several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored was long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 84.684685 percent of its residents, which is somewhat alarming. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
