Our long-term care scores are more critical for residents in need of more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- for short-term care, which is generally a decent grade. In computing these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 2.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
