D
Historical
This facility's second worse category was short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a well below average score. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in many staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 34.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
D
Historical
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 87.99249 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
