Nurse Quality
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 fared better in this category. Our nursing score weighs a host of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility boasts a really impressive 5.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is one of the better totals of nursing hours we found. On top of offering high levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home was given a top-shelf score of A in our short-term care area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is that it offers more than an hour of care per day from registered nurses per resident. This is really the gold standard for this area, as it's approximately 50% higher than a typical place's level of registered nurse staffing. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This place performed as well as just about any facility in Michigan with 61.2 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home received a respectable long-term care rating. Even though this was not as elite as several of its other grades, this is really not a terrible score. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered in addition to this nursing home's impressive nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.83258 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.08 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
