Long-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed was long-term care. This facility was given a very positive long-term care score, with a grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was short-term care. We awarded this facility one of our better grades in this area, with a grade of B. While this isn't on par with a few of this nursing home's other scores, it is still an excellent score. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
