Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
