With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

The last category we rated was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area. Long-term care grades are generally used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 92.10526 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
