In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. 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.

This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Approximately one-fourth of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most skilled nurses. This is an impressive ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours more in determining our nursing ratings.
