After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 97.74436 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue.

This facility also excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Very few nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely more important for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
