To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded this city's lone nursing home a grade of A+ for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home also really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. In the last two categories, the city were awarded a B+ in our nursing category and a grade of C for long-term care.
