Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for this category. This finalized a straight A report card.

This rating is generally a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility.
