This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed.

Our short-term care grade is commonly used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services To have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe.

Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 95.833336 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable datapoint. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
