In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in our short-term care category, where it earned an A. In our short-term care score, we try to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
