Grade: D

The next area we looked at is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either.
