Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a grade of of A+ for its short-term care grade. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category we graded, this facility was awarded a very strong grade of A in our long-term care category. With this score, the nursing home topped off a straight A report card. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 86.46616 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
