The third most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing.

We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

The next category we graded was long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
