Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Wisconsin in this area with 59.5 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This is based on the place's government inspections. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. When computing our nursing grades, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place provides an impressive 3.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Of this total, more than one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most skilled levels of nurses. We add more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in calculating our nursing scores. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final area, we awarded this facility an A+ for our long-term care grade. This rounded out a first-rate profile. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
