Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home did not perform well. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is this facility's worst area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It looks like this facility was subpar in two of the key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home.
