Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave it a high-end long-term care grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home a score of A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care.

This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate.

In determining our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities.
