Contributing to its dominant profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a score of A for that area. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing score assesses several subcategories, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to our next category, this facility was given a very strong long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in that area, completing one of our better report cards.

One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information about vaccinations. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
