We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This top notch facility also excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is more often than not a useful measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
