Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy.

The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.
