Short-term Care Quality

Although this facility's overall grade was terrible, it performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our higher scores. This is one of the only good things we can say about this facility. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Incredibly, we gave this facility a C for our long-term care score, which isn't a bad grade. In our long-term care score, we assess the volume of services offered by a facility, as well as a few qualitative datapoints. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 59.34066 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
