In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies.

With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality

Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for patients needing more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living.
