Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with a grade of A. Short-term care scores are vital for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Minnesota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that category, which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last category we graded, this facility was awarded a very favorable grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home rounded out a first-rate report card. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
