Awards

Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Among its many impressive scores, this facility was awarded first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in that area. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.93204 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
