Short-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of B-. Short-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area. In computing our nursing scores, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these issues.
