Grade: F
Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home did not fare well. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is this facility's poorest category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 82.24299 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
