Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The final category we assessed was short-term care. We awarded this facility one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This nursing home ended up being strong in each area we assessed. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
