Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is short-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With its abysmal score in this category, we were not shocked to discover this facility offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
