Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most critical for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, 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 registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, this facility received a C in long-term care, which is generally a decent rating. In our long-term care score, we analyze the amount of care provided by a nursing home, as well as some quality metrics. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
