This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 Michigan in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning patients more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road score in the area of long-term care, with a grade of B-. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.145294 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last area we looked at, we found that this facility earned a solid government inspection report this year as well. It earned a decent grade in inspections with a B-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
