This facility also was given a strong score in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is certainly very disappointing. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is generally a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. With a score of this caliber in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility was below average in many staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
