This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy.

The next category we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of C. Although this proved to be its weakest category score, this is nevertheless not a major area of concern. Long-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable statistic. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
