On top of faring well overall, this facility received even higher grades in the area of short-term care. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. With our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last area is long-term care, where we gave this facility a B- in that category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
