Even though this was not nearly as good as a few of its other category grades, this is nevertheless a decent score in that area. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
