Facility Inspections

To pair with its great overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for inspections. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. The nursing grade assesses several datapoints, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Nebraska in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.

This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a strong grade of B. Short-term care scores are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility.
