This facility administered the vaccine to 99.82456 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade in this area, with a B-. While this was not as high as a few of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 44.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
