Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.7918 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. 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 less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we assessed, this nursing home received a very strong grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home wrapped up a very favorable report card. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
