Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Although this facility's overall grade was abysmal, it actually didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. We gave it a B- for that area, which isn't bad. This wasn't enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to only 82.59023 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home wound up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our short-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this area. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
