Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The next area we graded was short-term care. We gave this nursing home one of our higher scores in this category, with a B. Even though this isn't as strong as several of this facility's other scores, it is still a positive grade. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
