This bailed out its overall grade to a degree. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
