Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we want to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. Even though this proved to be its lowest category grade, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.30686 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
