The next most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy.
