Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. The nursing rating considers a variety of datapoints. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the last category we looked at. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category. Even with a few solid scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless disappointing so we would like to to make a note of it. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
