Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 Minnesota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received a strong score of A in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home received an above average long-term care score, with a grade of B+ in the category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Wrapping up its excellent profile, this nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor dings are not the end of the world.
