This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.51101 percent of its residents. This is somewhat less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection report. It earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final area, this facility also was awarded an impressive short-term care grade, with a B+. This finished off a very favorable report card. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
