Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a patient more often.

The last area we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B+. This wrapped up a first-rate report card. Very few facilities earned a B+ or better in every category. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy.

On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
