This facility also was strong in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, where this facility was given a B. Believe it or not, this ended up being this facility's least impressive category. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their weakest score still is better than most other nursing homes. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
