This nursing home earned a short-term care grade which is better than its overall score. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in this area. This helped its overall profile quite a bit. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is considered to be a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

This facility also received a strong long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 95.37445 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
