Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
