Short-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded an above average short-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. Our short-term care grades are important for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
