Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. When computing our nursing scores, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided 5.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is among the higher totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We are really impressed by these figures. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any nursing home in Minnesota in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received quality marks in the category of short-term care. For this reason, it was given one of our most impressive grades in that area with a grade of A+. Our short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Remarkably, this facility provides roughly one and a half times as many hours of services from registered nurses and physical therapists than most facilities we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 61.1 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strength for this nursing home is long-term care, where it was awarded an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Even though we determined this nursing home had a favorable amount of nursing care provided by nurses aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit lower than we expected. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 76.47059 percent of its patients. This is a statistic we would like to see this nursing home improve. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an elite grade of A. This finished off a straight A report card for this facility. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
