On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 90.7258 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to the last category, this facility was awarded a strong short-term care score. Even though this was not as elite as a few of its other grades, this remains one of our more impressive grades we offer. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
