In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place.

In addition, this nursing home received dominant marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it received one of our most impressive grades in that area with a score of A+. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
