The final category we graded was short-term care, in which this facility received a rock bottom score in this area also.

Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
