This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.516556 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care, which ended up being a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
