In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.
