This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
