Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. When computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this area. Avoiding serious falls is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's volume of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 81.090096 percent of its patients. This is significantly lower than the national average. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate.

Neither its vaccination record nor its hospitalization rate were strengths for this place in this area.
