This nursing home provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility was also above average in several of the major quality measures we assessed in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a impressive short-term care grade. This actually ended up being this facility's third strongest category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. Short-term care grades are typically employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical nursing home. This is a very favorable sign. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 41.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored proved to be this facility's worst area. Nevertheless, even its weakest link would actually be a strength for most facilities. We awarded it an above average grade of B in long-term care. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. This nursing home's vaccination records weren't as favorable as its number of nursing hours per resident. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 84.78261 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement in this area in the future. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate.
