Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

With our long-term care assessment, we focus on the sheer quantity of care provided by a facility, as well as a series of qualitative data points.

We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.18841 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
