Grade: B-plus

In addition to a strong overall score, this nursing home also earned a favorable nursing grade. In fact, we awarded the place one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. Our nursing score includes many datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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 facility Minnesota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it excelled in the area of inspections, with a B in that category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we scored was long-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are critical for patients seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.73913 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
