Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the very impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility received high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provided 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the highest totals we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any nursing home Minnesota in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category we graded, this facility was awarded an impressive grade grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home topped off a straight A report card. Short-term care grades are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 37.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
