Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 96.51163 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
Adding to its first-rate assessment, this nursing home also received a superb short-term care grade, with a grade of A. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
