Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best category ended up being short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our short-term care scores are likely more important for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 38.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility really didn't fare very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 85.17745 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
