Grade: A

Turning the page to our next area, this nursing home was given an excellent short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in that category.

Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
