To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A for short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
