Short-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant grades, this nursing home was awarded a strong short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most critical for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance.
