Short-term Care Quality

It should also be noted that this facility's short-term care score outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home.

Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Our final category is long-term care, where we gave this nursing home a C in that area. Our long-term care scores are more critical for people needing more traditional services related to activities of daily living. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 73.809525 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
