In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility really excelled at short-term care, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned impressive government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines.
