In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.55556 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital.
