Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its second lowest grade in the category of short-term care. Unfortunately, we awarded this facility a grade of D in this category, which is not a very good grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.

The next area we analyzed is nursing, proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This is one of just a couple of weak links on a quality report card. We looked at the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This particular facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Unfortunately, this place also did not perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at for this category.
