Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing grade consists of several subcategories, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

In our final area, this nursing home also was given a very strong short-term care grade, with a grade of A-. This completed a first-rate report card. Short-term care ratings are crucial for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
