Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
