The last category we analyzed was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a B. Even though this ended up being its poorest category score, this is still an above average grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services.

Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
