In computing these long-term care grades, we analyze the facility's personal care services.

This facility administered the vaccine to 99.71831 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final area we scored is short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category. With our short-term care rating, we try to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
