This facility also was awarded an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to be awarded more than one A+ category scores. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services.

The facility supplied roughly 1.5 times as much care per resident from both of these care providers than a typical facility provided.

On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the nation with 73.8 percent of its residents returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this metric.
