Our nursing rating consists of many factors, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 93.581085 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
