Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A- for this category, which is one of our best grades. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other strengths is its dominant short-term care grade. We gave them one of our most impressive grades in that category, with a score of A-. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Wisconsin in this area with 59.8 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

The next area we scored is long-term care, where this nursing home received a B-. Even though this wound up being its least impressive category score, this is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 92.21184 percent of its residents, which is somewhat lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
