One of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
