Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This place did not perform quite as poorly in long-term care. We awarded it a B- for that category. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for folks in need of more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 77.53846 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't rate poorly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area, which wound up being another one of its more favorable grades. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last item we considered in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
