With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
