This grade is more often than not a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
