In addition to earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home performed well in short-term care. We awarded it an impressive grade of A- for that category.

Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
