Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.
