Nevertheless, you should not assess this facility solely on one bad category, as it was awarded many superb grades in other categories. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients.
