Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in that area. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. There are a variety of criteria included in this category. Most of these criteria reflect staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
