Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.08676 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, 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.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we analyzed, this facility received a very favorable grade of A in our short-term care category. With this score, the facility wrapped up a straight A report card. Short-term care scores are critical for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
