In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.749405 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Our last category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
