This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of C. Even though this proved to be its lowest category rating, this is still not a poor grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is typically a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
