Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 80.511185 percent of its residents. This is multiple points below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that category. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
