Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled at short-term care. We gave them an A+ in this category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home also performed admirably in our long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of B+ for this area. This wrapped up a very strong report card. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.21429 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
