Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home averages 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Finally, while this nursing home didn't rank well in terms of its nursing hours, it performed better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D for our short-term care category. This was the facility's worst category rating. Of course, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. In this facility's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 44.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
