Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Tennessee in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care. We gave this facility one of our higher scores in this category, with a grade of B. While this was not as high as some of this nursing home's other grades, it is still a fine grade. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
