The next most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is frequently a meaningful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is clearly a significant disappointment. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. In addition to being below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
