Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care ratings are critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

The final area we assessed is long-term care. In this area, we awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This actually was this nursing home's least impressive category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category.

We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 98.19277 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital.
