Skilled nursing includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This facility administered the vaccine to 86.56716 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we anticipated. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.
