Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 80.0738 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we anticipated. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is short-term care. This facility was given an above average short-term care grade this year, with a grade of C. While this wasn't quite as dominant as many of its other scores, this remains a decent rating in that category. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
