This nursing home also was strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Very few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
