Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received a grade of A+. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
