This facility vaccinated 83.97626 percent of its residents, which is a few points below what we were hoping for. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was 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.

The last area we looked at is short-term care, where we awarded it a favorable grade of B. This nursing home really does not have any weaknesses.

Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
