In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 nursing home Iowa in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents more frequently.

Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored is long-term care, was this facility's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This really is one of the few weak points of a very solid report card. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.875 percent of its patients, which is a few points less than we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
