This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, in which this facility received a grade of B. This facility did not end up having any weak links. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
