Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category.

This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B. Believe it or not, this is this nursing home's weakest category. A nursing home is doing something right when their poorest grade still is superior to most other facilities. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
