If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades.

We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 60.1626 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
