Grade: A
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled at short-term care, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for individuals requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
