Our short-term care grades are critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy.

However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care. We gave this facility an acceptable score in that area, with a B-. Even though this wasn't as dominant as several of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless not the end of the world. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 79.45206 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is several points below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
