However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
