This is a greater quantity of nursing than that offered by most facilities. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
