We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing. This facility was given a grade of B- in the category. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a resident even once per day.
