Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a very impressive long-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its best grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of A. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 82.28571 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we anticipated but still a respectable figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The next category we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a strong grade of B. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
