Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility was given a B-. Although this proved to be its poorest category rating, this is nevertheless not the end of the world. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home.
