The next category we analyzed was short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This is one of just a couple of weak links of a strong report card. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
