This facility also was elite in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Very few facilities fared better in this area. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Moving on to our final category, this facility also performed admirably in the long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this category. This completed a first-rate profile. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category.
