The next category we rated was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a C. This actually turned out to be this facility's worst area. This is still a middle of the pack score. In our short-term care category, we strive to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
