In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 89.044945 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we assessed proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of C for our short-term care category. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
