Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was short-term care. This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care score, with a B+ in this area. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. This actually is this nursing home's weakest category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.58678 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
