Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With its abysmal rating in this category, we were not shocked to discover that this facility offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility.
