In addition, this facility was given superb marks in the area of long-term care. For this reason, it received one of our best grades in that category with a score of A+. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to offering very impressive levels of nurse staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.27007 percent of its residents. This figure is also significantly better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing score assesses quite a few factors, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Tennessee in this category. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and having a protocol of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was this facility's weakest area. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for our short-term care category. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
