Similarly, the nursing home's staff vaccination rate is only 4.8%, locating it in the bottom 30% of facilities in this category.

Similarly, it ranks in the bottom 10% for the percentage of short-stay residents who made outpatient emergency department visits, standing at 30.3% compared to the state average of 16.36%. Additionally, the facility is in the bottom 40% concerning the percentage of short-stay residents rehospitalized after a nursing home admission, recording a rate of 25.89%, higher than the state average of 19.28%. These figures suggest areas for potential improvement.

    Originally did not receive the care my mom needed. She ran out of oxygen and had my RN son not been there she probably would have died but there are few options in Almagordo so she went back and we have no complaints about further care.
