Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A. Short-term care scores are vital for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was strong in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Not many facilities performed better in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
