Long-term Care Quality
Although we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received an impressive long-term care grade this year. We gave it a B in this area. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.631 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's short-term care grade ended up being one of its respectable scores. The facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
