We also want to point out the fact that this facility was given an impressive score of A- in our long-term care area.

On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 67.8466 percent of its residents, which is a bit less than we anticipated.

It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals.

The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
