Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections proved to be one of its best category grades. We gave this facility a grade of B+. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing category analyzes many datapoints, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we scored was long-term care. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. This actually ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. In computing these long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
