The goal is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community.
