Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing rating weighs several subcategories, but the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home 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
Turning to our fourth category, this nursing home was given an acceptable short-term care grade. While this is not quite as elite as some of its other scores, this is truly not a poor grade. Short-term care ratings are important for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
