In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.

The final area we graded is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists.
