Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy.

Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
