This facility excelled in our long-term care category, with an A in this area. This really propped up its overall grade quite a bit.

Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.579834 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The last area we analyzed is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most important for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we considered. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
