The final area we scored was short-term care, where this facility received a grade of B-. Even though this turned out to be its weakest category grade, this is nevertheless not a bad grade.

Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
