With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. This actually ended up being this facility's weakest area. This is still not a major area of concern. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
