Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. Our short-term care scores are crucial for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last category is long-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
