This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
