Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third area, this nursing home was given first-rate short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that area. Our short-term care scores are important for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last category, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our long-term care grade. This completed an elite profile. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
