Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area. In spite of several respectable scores in other areas, this grade is nevertheless alarming so we wanted to point it out. In calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
