We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility.
