When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this facility really did not fare very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this nursing home's weakest grade. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a grade this poor for this category, we were not surprised to find that this facility was well below average in many staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
