Facility Inspections
On top of being a great facility overall, it also received A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home fared very well in our short-term care category. We gave them an elite grade of A+ in this category. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This facility excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the typical nursing home. This is definitely a very favorable sign. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Minnesota in this area with 60.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility boasts a really impressive 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With under five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. However, even its lowest point would actually be a highlight for many nursing homes. We gave it a strong grade of B in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 94.8052 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.68 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
