Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
