Moving on to our final category, this facility was awarded a strong short-term care score. We gave it a B+ in this area, finishing off one of our better report cards. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
