Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-minus
This nursing home also didn't fare poorly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which happens to be among its better scores. Our short-term care scores are vital for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: F
The final category we scored was long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 90.600525 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
