In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home.

Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This actually was this facility's weakest area. The nursing grade assesses quite a few data points, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
