Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas.

This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a resident more often.

Turning to the last area, this nursing home also performed admirably in the short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area. This topped off a very strong report card.
