Facility Inspections

In addition to faring well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A+. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without all of the deficiency related data, it is difficult to fully assess the place in terms of this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Adding to its top-shelf profile, this facility also was awarded a dominant short-term care score, with a grade of A. With our short-term care score, we seek to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. The nursing grade weighs a number of factors. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 place Minnesota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we rated was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B. This actually turned out to be this facility's worst category. A facility could be doing a lot worse when their weakest grade still is superior to most facilities. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
