Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more positive scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- in long-term care. In our long-term care assessment, we analyze the quantity of services offered by a nursing home, along with some qualitative statistics. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
