This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, this facility really didn't perform well. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's poorest area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is considered to be a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. With a grade in this range for this area, we were not stunned to find this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we focus on. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
