Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we want to emphasize its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an A in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home an B+ for nursing. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy.
