Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we didn't have many positive things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category scores. Nevertheless, with just a D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. The nursing grade analyzes quite a few factors, however, the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of long-term care. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.3311 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
