While its overall score was abysmal, we gave the facilities in Alton a grade of B- in our short-term care category. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy.
