The last area we looked at turned out to be this facility's poorest area. Nevertheless, even its lowest point would likely be a highlight for most nursing homes. In fact, we awarded it a strong grade of B for short-term care. With our short-term care rating, we try to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
