This facility vaccinated 98.24561 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive.

Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to 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, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
