In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. In our short-term care rating, we try to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

The last area we graded was long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a favorable grade of B. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital.
