ProMedica Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation - Grosse Pointe Woods

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home earned a much better grade for short-term care than it received overall. It received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of A-. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. There are several criteria included in this grade. Many of the factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Turning to the final area, this facility did not perform very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is its worst grade. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.560974 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
