Facility Inspections

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received top notch inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility fared well in the category of short-term care. As a result, we awarded it a score of A- for that category, which is one of our most dominant grades. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This place provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is typically an excellent sign. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Wyoming in this area with 57.4 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. The nursing grade includes numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This place offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, of which more than an hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. We apply more weight to these skilled nursing hours in computing our nursing grades. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in some of the major areas we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically good indicators of the quality of nursing care available.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to our last category, this facility didn't perform very well. Due to a poor grade of F in that area, this was notably its weakest category grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 85.25641 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
