Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third category, this nursing home received a top-shelf short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a score of A in that category. Our short-term care grades are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we graded, this facility was awarded an impressive grade grade of A- in our long-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home finished off a straight A report card. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 81.29496 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
