Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we graded was short-term care, where this facility was given a B-. Although this ended up being its lowest category grade, this is still not a bad grade. In forming our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
