In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day.
