In spite of a few acceptable scores in other areas, this grade is nevertheless alarming so we wanted to draw your attention to it. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
