Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B-. This actually proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. This is still not a terrible score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
