Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we rated was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility a strong grade of B. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
