This nursing home also received a strong short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
