Short-term Care Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a respectable grade in the category of short-term care, with a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
