In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is generally a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Our final category is long-term care, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of B- in that category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
