This facility's long-term care score outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a grade of B for its long-term care score. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Lastly, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
