We looked at the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this area. Based on the data, it looks like this facility provides an impressive 3.9 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than most places offer. In computing our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
