Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This was more of a strength than its staffing metrics. We found that it fared well in this area with 59.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was a boost to its grade in this category.
