Long-term Care Quality
This top-shelf facility also excelled in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Only a small group of nursing homes fared better in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.72727 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
