After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 53.43915 percent of its patients against pneumonia.

Nurse Quality

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we scored is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a poor score. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
