Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
