On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also performed well in the area of long-term care, where it earned an A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.37107 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
