The goal is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
