Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest category is short-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. With our short-term care category, we try to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing. This was the facility's weakest category score. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. There are a number of factors within this category. Many of the criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
