Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls.

Switching gears to our next area, this facility was given an acceptable short-term care score of C. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
