In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.333336 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category.

Grade: B-minus

The final area we rated is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a B-. This ended up being this facility's weakest area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
