You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was long-term care. In this area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of B-. This actually proved to be this facility's weakest category. In our long-term care score, we weigh the sheer volume of care provided by a facility, along with a few quality measures. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.14773 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
