In addition to being a first-rate facility overall, this facility also excelled at short-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
