The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is clearly a major disappointment. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
