In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The last category we rated is short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a B-.

This category is often a solid assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
