Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. There are a variety of criteria within this grade. Most of the subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care, which proved to be a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care, rendering this the nursing home's weakest category grade. We would still recommend that you look at the bigger picture. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this nursing home provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
