Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a decent grade of B- in our long-term care category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.17355 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
