Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing, proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This really is one of just a couple of weak links in an otherwise impressive profile. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. We do not think quantity of care is the reason for this places poor nursing score. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home actually surpassed the national average. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care.
