Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Moving on to our final area, this facility really didn't perform well. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is its poorest category grade. When calculating our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings.
