Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
